i just saw it an hours ago so imagine my feels. please excuse me tho, my brain seems to have stopped functioning but i can't bring myself to watch it again. not yet at least.
at first i can't believe it. all the girls being alive and calling themselves puella magi holy quintet. this must be a dream. oh, and kyubey being a pokemon and not speaking for an hour was hilarious.
i love it when homura said "it is love" and the scene w kyousaya and the hand holding and the running and teasing and the touching. it felt like a slap to those in denial about the yuri in this series. well, it's not that canon but we could definitely agree that it's nothing fanon. at least the subtleness is on a par with nanofate
i also think that all those who hated sayaka will see her in a diff light. she kinda took spotlight there, which is really great. her being one of the "angels" of godoka. her thoughts on hitomi's nightmare. "being hitomi is suffering" haha, that was funny. and let's not forget hitomi's head floating.
oh, and bebe too. she was adorable. kinda sad that there weren't any flashbacks of her w mami, that would be great.
now onto the ending, why did homura chose to be a devil? how did she do that? was that the right thing to do?
-remember the flowers and braiding scene? homura realizes that madoka is not really happy being far away and forgotten. that may be madoka's true feelings but that madoka doesn't have a memory of walpurgisnacht and homura creating diff timelines. in short, that's not godoka's true feelings which i think might be more mature being a goddess and all
-as to how, i could only think of all the sufferings and misery she'd been thru all bottled up. then she realizes she's become a witch and kyubey wants to control godoka. plus madoka's feelings. thru these she was able to steal godoka's powers and became akuma homu.
-homura being a devil brings kyousaya a happy ending so hooray
-this way she'd be able to protect madoka from kyubey
urobochi's original plan was that homura would be saved by godoka. but the producer/director gave him the idea of leaving the movie an open ending. now we have this devil homu. i think even though they're denying of any plans for a sequel, there will be an announcement. maybe within a year. my question is what will happen to the magical girls about to turn into witches now that godoka's gone? the whole akuma homu really seemed rushed in the movie. it's really more like an epilogue
